JOIN AMERICAN BIRD CONSERVANCY

where 20+ years of bold action, focus on results, and partnership are bringing back the birds across the Western Hemisphere. Our mission is clear: to conserve native birds and their habitats across the Americas. In doing so, we benefit not only American birds but all other species as well.

Who's looking forward to the return of Black-and-white Warblers? According to eBird reports, they're headed north with sightings as far north as New Jersey! Let's hope the weather isn't too hard on these early birds. abcbirds.org/bird/black-and-white-warbler/

"This 'green' revolution has a dark side. ... If any area in the United States and Canada should be avoided for wind energy development, it is the Great Lakes region, one of the world's largest confluences of migratory birds and bats." buff.ly/2poIIiR

Several designs have been developed for wind power that do not involve blades, therefore do not threaten birds! Can we stop slagging technologies before we even research them?😡😡😡😡

There are not many wind farms that aren't in migratory pathways...and with Trump wanting to rollback the MTBA so that utilities aren't on the hook if they kill birds, this is and will be a nightmare for our birds.

Just like vast swaths of land used as “solar farms”. It would be better to have solar panels on every roof.

This might be a solution:https://www.popsci.com/acoustic-lighthouse-alerts-birds-to-wind-turbines?bKwCeK8BtZO1T2b8.01

and that is not green

Industry ignores the impact statements that say animals are seriously affected by wind and solar farms. For example, they're still moving forward with a farm in the midwest that affects whooping cranes -- an endangered species. And there are also companies that lie about the animals they've killed.

How can it be, “being green” when are killing off the very thing you say that you are protecting....nature!🤔

If global warming isn't brought under control soon then the welfare of birds and wildlife etc. will be a moot point. Wind turbines are a better solution than fossil fuels and that should be obvious.

They need to start using and switch over to no blade wind technology. I’m sure it will hurt the pocket book, but it will save so many birds, bats, probably insects, plus it will provide jobs.

If sights like this one stir your soul, please act now: Funding for birds and their habitats are headed for major cutbacks in the federal budget. Cornerstone environmental laws such as the Endangered Species Act are at risk. Will you stand up for birds? >> abcbirds.org/action/petition-federal-budget

As our beloved migratory birds return this spring, they face threats like never before. The Migratory Bird Treaty Act and other safeguards are under attack. Will you contribute $10, $20, or more to help us fight for birds on Capitol Hill? >> abcbirds.org/speak-up-donate

We rely almost completely on individual donations to support this work. Thank you for considering!
